Dify is a platform for building agentic workflows and RAG pipelines in a shared visual workspace. Teams design agents, knowledge bases and automated processes with little code, then publish them as apps or APIs and move from prototype to production on the same stack.

**Key features:**

- Build agentic workflows on a visual canvas.
- Create knowledge bases and RAG pipelines from imported documents.
- Use models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI and others, or bring your own API key.
- Start workflows from plugin, schedule and webhook triggers.
- Publish apps as web apps or through the Dify API, with logs and annotation tools.
- Deploy on Dify Cloud, in a private VPC or self-hosted.

The Community edition is free and self-hosted under the Dify open-source license, based on Apache 2.0. On Dify Cloud, the free Sandbox plan includes 200 message credits, 5 apps and one member, and the paid Professional and Team plans are billed per workspace. Enterprise adds SSO, a commercial license and support through sales.
